Just wanted to say hello. My name is Josephine. I'm sort of a newbie been along time since i posted anything. I always come on here to read everyones post, never really had the courage to post anything else didnt want to sound like a dork lol. Maybe one day i will tell my whole story, too long and painful. This is the short version i was baptized in 95 i was 17 left around 18 I hated the things ive seen in the hall the double standards, what they put my brother and i through and my friends. Just wanted to be normal and not hide anymore. I lived the double life went to bars and clubs and had the worldly boyfriends. Still went to the meetings and service. Finally just told my parents i didnt want to go anymore, i brought my boyfriend home to meet them (now husband) had the fights with them for along time about the truth that im going to die in the end blah blah blah. Finally they realized that i didnt want it, and they left me alone. I think i got one phone call from an elder to come to the meeting on a sunday to encorage me, i said yes i will be there never went. They never bothered me after that. I have respect for certain people from that hall i say my hello's, how are you's when i see them, thats about it. Last week my mother tells me that she should have never let me get baptized that she really new how miserable i was in the borg all i could say was thanks mom for telling me 12 years later, im not going to fight with her or my dad they have been through enough in there life especially my mom. My parents will be in that place till the day they die and me telling them what ive learned on here will only make things worse i dont want that. Which by the way im still learning the real truth about it, thanks to this website and all of you!! I know my story was my leaving the borg. Maybe this post will encourage me to post more and tell more. So with that all said MY BIG BIG HELLO'S TO EVERYONE!!!!

went to assembly past weekend lol
by JE1234 inwent to an assembly this past saturday.
reason why i went cause my mother in law was baptized so the rest of us non believers went for moral support.
it was in the "famous stanley theater" in nj that i heard so much about growing up, my mother was so happy even thou i went, watched baptizm, ate with my inlaws, and was out like a bolt of lightning lol.

I dont know how early it is for assembly time, beats me. But we walked in at 11:30 which was near baptizm talk and we were out of there by 1:30. I honestly didnt pay attention to what they were saying, i even brought my bible but never opened it lol. It was strange walking in there after all these years i dont think ill ever go again, if my husband wants to be supportive of his mom thats fine but i think im done with going to anything everrrrr.

I was so friggen nervous my husband had to hold my hand the whole time. 3rd time ever to go for almost 9years pretty scary...lol. Besides the mindless, arrogant, self righteous drones that were wandering about the place, I was afraid that one of them might try to brainwash me AGAIN... I thought it was hilarious they were all staring at my brother in law who looked like he was dressed for a nightclub rather than an assembly,(i think he did it on purpose) lol, Yea just wanted to share my little JW adventure lol..k ..bye

The things iv'e read, honestly i had no clue about the dates and Franz and all these things. If i ever questioned my parents about anything i read...i think they will freak, since there still witness. I went to the same italian congregration for almost 10 years but i met alot of people from other congregations. Italian congregrations were very tuff alot of judging, i dont know if its any different than other congs. One day ill tell my story...
But THANK YOU ALL again for your welcomes.
